Your Story, Revised

Blueprint: Your Story, Revised.

Welcome to Blueprint! Do you have a manuscript you’ve been longing to move from that secret drawer into the light of day? Is there an Op-Ed you want to write related to a current event about which you are passionate, but are searching for just the right words? Have you been secretly writing the Great American Novel for the last decade and now feel ready to give it a professional editorial eye? Have you always wanted to write your life story, but don’t know where or how to begin?

You’ve come to the right place. We offer a full-service manuscript consulting service for fiction and nonfiction of all stripes, and at most levels of completion and/or polish. Our expert coaching and editorial services will help you move your manuscript from mundane to marvelous. We offer precise, practical notes; professional editorial letters that address central issues of craft (voice, structure, tone, plot, etc.) , and a quick turn-around time for these in-depth and comprehensive critiques.

We strongly believe that given the current political climate in the United States and around the world, stories are more important than ever before. Stories teach us empathy and compassion; they provide a space for levity and sadness, and they make room for grace. For that reason, we try to work with people, regardless of budget constraints. If you have a story you are passionate to tell, or a book you’ve been waiting your whole life to write, we will customize a plan of writerly action – a blueprint — that is uniquely suited to your unique story.

Please note: Before we take on new clients, we assess your needs, your skill level, and your hopes for your project. We also take good care to be sure that your project is a match for our unique skills and particular expertise, and we try to offer referrals to other services and private readers in the case that we are not a match. (Please note: we are also not grammarians). If we feel we can help you, we will put together a contract that is mutually agreed upon by all parties.
